Battlefield 4 vs Ultima Online
Battlefield 4
Battlefield 4 brings large-scale multiplayer battles to a whole new level with destructible and dynamic environments that you and your team can make use of to change the lanscape of the battlefield, opening up new tactical maneuvers. You can even launch an amphibious assault, catching your enemies unawares; or simply engage in massive water-based vehicular combat. There are a whole lot more vehicles, weapons, huge maps and freedom to play as you like in this game, giving you an unrivalled, all-out war experience that frankly is the best Battlefield has offered thus far!Best yet, the game added a single player campaign for those who want to experience the fun of huge battles without having to play online. The storyline is quite touching as it details the struggles of a unit of American troops doing their best to complete their mission and work their way home.
If you love Battlefield games, well, Battlefield 4 will definitely astound you! Even for those who disliked the multiplayer-heavy gameplay in the previous Battlefield titles can agree that the single-player campaign does make up a lot for that. Though, buying this game for only its single player aspect might be a bit not worthwhile, unless you can get it at a discount.
Ultima Online
Ultima Online is one of the most legendary MMORPGs of all time. In fact, if you were to trace the entire MMORPG genre back to a single game, then you’d probably end up at Ultima Online. Being one of the longest running MMOs has its fair share of perks - a ton of updates to keep the gameplay fresh as well as a solid and loyal player base, and of course, downsides... there is only so much of the game they can update and graphics is, unfortunately, not one of them. That's actually great in some way since the game still retains its classic looks and charm.Ultima Online is a massive game and as you might expect, you can spend years in the game and still be pleasantly surprised to discover new parts of the game that you may not have known before. Aside from exploring the land, you can even set sail on your very own ship and make your mark at the seas as well. Character building is equally as impressive here mainly because you are free to mix and match over 50 different skills to come up with a build you feel comfortable with. However, if you're looking for a casual PvP experience, you won't find it here since your stuff can be looted by your opponent if you were defeated in combat.
As amazing as it is, Ultima Online is not a free-to-play game. That said, the game does offer a 14-day trial for players who would like to try the game out and who knows? You might just end up paying for the game for the sake of being able to fully experience the "founder" of modern-day MMOs.
